The genetic consequences of range expansion and its influence on diploidization in polyploids

This study uses simulations to show that autopolyploids face greater fitness costs during range expansion than diploids, while allopolyploids with disomic inheritance are shielded, and range expansion accelerates diploidization in autotetraploids.

Biogeography and the evolution of acoustic communication in the polyploid North American gray treefrog complex

This study examines the biogeography and acoustic communication evolution in polyploid North American gray treefrogs, finding glacial influences on speciation and acoustic signal divergence.

This population does not exist: learning the distribution of evolutionary histories with generative adversarial networks

This paper trains a GAN to generate artificial population genetic alignments that mimic key features of real data across diverse evolutionary models.
